Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have successfully completed their transition from Russia’s electricity grid to the European Union’s power network, marking a significant step in their energy independence. The switch severs a decades-old reliance on Moscow’s infrastructure and strengthens the Baltic region’s integration with the EU’s energy market.

Officials from the three nations hailed the move as a major milestone in reducing Russian influence and enhancing energy security. The transition is part of broader efforts to shield the region from potential geopolitical pressures and align more closely with Western energy policies.
